I find it interesting that /. posted about this spinning it as blaming Apple's conspiracy (fair) and millenials (which I consider unfair)
Also, aren't KDP-published books generally sold under the agency model when sold in ebook form, yet they're generally significantly cheaper than their dead tree counterparts?
EDIT: I also suspect that the move to agency allowed Amazon to profit on ebooks, which let them sell kindles near cost whereas they used to almost have to have the kindles subsidize the books they often sold at a loss?
